Schwiet Garden ~~~~ Folded Under Flower

Every odd day of the month I will present a new gardening tip. The best news is you don't have to be a green thumb to have success with these tips because they are suggested tutorials for flowers to be included in your crafts.

Not sure what I like most about today's flower, the folded under flower. It has the benefit of being very easy to make and it looks extremely realistic. This flower is newer to my arsenal of favorite flowers but it easily made it to my top favorite flower to make.

Schwiet Garden ~~~~ Circle Scrunch

Every odd day of the month I will present a new gardening tip. The best news is you don't have to be a green thumb to have success with these tips because they are suggested tutorials for flowers to be included in your crafts.

Sometime I see craft ideas that are not meant for scrapping, but I think these ideas would work on scrap pages. This is one of those tutorials that was originally a wreath, but I think a smaller circle could work out to be an adorable and easy flower to embellish any page. Give the circle scrunch flower a for an easy flower to dress up your next page or project.

Schwiet Garden ~~~ Baby Wipe Flower

Every odd day of the month I will present a new gardening tip. The best news is you don't have to be a green thumb to have success with these tips because they are suggested tutorials for flowers to be included in your crafts.

Since I still have a little one in diapers I have a special affection towards today's flower: the baby wipe flower. Let me remind of the wonderful versatility of baby wipes so maybe next time you're in the store you'll pick some up. They are essential for quick wipe downs when a shower is not quite possible and they work to remove filth from a lot of surfaces especially ink from stamps.

Just Sit~~~ Funtoola Kit

Just a quick post to drop off the back side of the previous page I made for my stand-up album about me. Again I used my Butterfly Dreams Funtoola Kit. Again I used the Mojo Monday 253 sketch. Check out the front page here. That would be my first twine butterfly and it is so simple and cute it will not be my last. The red butterfly is not part of the page it's to keep my niece's face off the Net. This is a picture of her with myself and my son this summer at the pool. The idea behind the quote is to not react but to sit and think before I take action. Not a bad concept and pretty relaxing , too.
